Updated 6/4/13. Rives L1 designed room---room done first before new speakers/amp were chosen.
Zus sound awesome---great resolution, dynamics, and efficiency for multiple amplifiers. I do find they need 20+ watts for best use in my larger room...
Installed a Brinkmann analog rig recently to move in a different direction.
Damn man. I have always wanted to listen to the Dartzeel integrated amp. I am the OC so maybe I need to invite myself up to your place for a listen! :)
The Def4s and BADA are the stalwarts in my system- amps have been a PITA. I'm hearing the Dart 8550 this weekend- could be my final stop. If I continue to enjoy analog, a Brinkmann Bardo will be purchased next year. Power conditioner probably in the mix then as well.
beautiful job with the tv. I had my electrician move every outlet so as not to be seen so my plasma was a picture on the wall with no outlet to distract. I also had them run the speaker cables below the molding. Again, no biggie. Not expensive and the finish product is lovely.
Thanks for sharing your experience in your amp pursuits in the Zu thread. May I ask you about your Sophia audition/ordering practice? There website is really lacking in information. Did you audition before buying? Did your interaction with them inspire confidence? Finally, what is the tube complement? 206 driver, 6SN7 is probably the input? Others?
BTW...stunning room you have! Someday I'd like to be able to do a Rives room similar to yours.
